Elderly Couple Charged After Using Iron Maiden For Revenge

(Classic Rock) An elderly couple from Stockholm face harassment charges after they took revenge on a noisy neighbor by playing Iron Maiden at full volume late at night.

An unnamed woman, 71, and her husband, 81, started bombarding the house next door with repeated plays of the band's track Afraid To Shoot Strangers, sometimes keeping it going until 4am.

The woman said they felt forced to act after a "whistling noise" kept them awake, and she'd had to take sleeping pills to help ignore it. "We wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine," she told Swedish police.

The neighbour, who endured the audio assault throughout most of last winter, said: "The harassment has just carried on. I am completely broken down." more on this story
